The post uses the name "Hussein" as if there is something wrong with the name.
There is nothing wrong with that name.
Many of our allies are named Hussein.
Some American troops are named Hussein.
That name appears on some American military grave markers,
often , but not always , under a star and crescent symbol.

The name is as American as LaChance, Smith , McLeod , Garcia , Muller,
Yamamoto , Kim , or Nguyen.
Yeah don't forget Hasan too. I guess his IFF was FUBAR.

Sgt. Hasan Akbar was sentenced to death at Fort Bragg, N.C., in 2005 for murder stemming from a grenade and rifle attack that killed two officers — Army Capt. Chris Seifert and Air Force Maj. Gregory Stone — in Kuwait early in the Iraq invasion of 2003.

do you know how to actually respond to a specific question or do you just like to ramble on and on about nothing in particular?

Consider the source. Do you expect anything more? Or less?

My brother is in the Air Force, and voted for McCain. That said, he truly respects Obama and feels that he will take care of the troops because he supported the recent G.I. Bill, and wants to make VA's more accessible for those in rural areas. He also respects Obama because he understands that the "War on Terror" begins in Pakistan, not Iraq.
